does not involve ciphers. It’s to show that the two names of “William
Shakespeare” and “Francis Bacon” are closely related in the Northumberland MS,

16 times, one of them shown as “Will”. So far only Baconian researchers have
made an honest effort to explain it.
The name of
“Will” is found in Sonnets 135 and 136 and this has been used as evidence that
the actor had written them. But if the author of these sonnets wanted to be so

the title page of the publication. But the name of “William” isn’t found until
the poem “A Lover’s Complaint” begins later in the volume. Speaking also of the
possible interpretation of “Bacon I Am” for “Will I Am” this isn’t farfetched
